AUTOMATIC STOP FEATURE
When the cassette deck is operating in play or record mode and the end of the tape is reached, the unit
automatically shuts itself off and returns all buttons to the off position.
TYPES OF CASSETTE
Use only good quality cassettes (IEC TYPE 1) for making recordings. May be used to replay other types
of cassette but is unable to make proper recording on these more specialized tapes.
The use of C120 cassettes is NOT recommended in this machine.
PROTECTING RECORDING
Normally, anything recorded on the tape is automatically erased when new recording is made. It is
possible to protect your recording from accidental erasure by removing the tabs found on the rear of the
cassette.
When the cassette is held with the recorded side upper-most and exposed tape facing the front, the
protective tab will be found on the left rear of the cassette.
All pre-recorded cassette are protected in this way to prevent accidental erasure of the commercial
recording. “Protected” cassette will prevent the record button from being operated. If at any time you
attempt to record and find that this button will not depress, never force the mechanism or it may be
damaged. Check that a cassette has been loaded and that tab has not been removed. Recording on a
cassette from which the tabs have been removed can be done by covering the tab openings with a piece
of adhesive tape.
CARE OF CASSETTE MECHANISM
Gently clean the tape head and pinch wheel/capstan assemblies after every 10 hours of using the unit.
A range of cassette care products are available.
The erase head and record/play head and the surface of the pinch roller are delicate and must not be
touched with metal objects such as screwdrivers. You may find it easier to clean the assembly by
pressing the PLAY button to bright head and pinch roller into view. Be sure to press the STOP button
after cleaning the mechanism.
Damage to the pinch wheel can occur if the unit is left in PLAY mode with the power switch off. Under
no circumstances should you attempt to lubricate any part of the machine.
